The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) said it can't provide emails sent between 2009 and 2011 that were requested by congressional investigators because of hard drive crashes.

The agency said that emails stored on dead drives were lost forever because its email backup tapes were recycled every six months, and employees were responsible for keeping their own long-term archives.

The IRS had a contract with email backup service vendor Sonasoft starting in 2005, according to FedSpending.org, which lists the contract as being for "automatic data processing services." Sonasoft's motto is "email archiving done right," and the company lists the IRS as a customer.

In 2009, Sonasoft even sent out a Tweet advertising its work for the IRS.

I don't know if that's the best marketing strategy right now.

FIFY!

If you're going to suck off any piece of scum with a "D" behind its name, at least be consistent and also use the Rex DailyKook Lingo.

Jeez.

its from 5 years ago.

everyone should know that the IRS is deliberately hiding the emails. it's a game to them and the end justifies the means.

They also provide e-discovery services, so they'll handle all the documents in the criminal case eventually brought against her.

I wonder who does their SOC 1 and FedRAMP assessments.

It is not reported because it doesn't fit the narrative. If they reported it, it would make the Regime look bad, which is anathema to the liberals.
The Regime is hoping that the small percentage of it's supporters that actually PAY ATTENTION will say, "Oh, yeah my damn computer crashed one time and i lost all my sh!t! I know that feeling."
And they will never question it. The media will not cover this at all. Thank God for Fox, Drudge and the Radio. Or none of us would ever know about it.

Sounds like Congress needs to go straight to Sonasoft with the subpoena...
